random jump to specific destinations - jako - 03-18-2021
Random Jump is so nice ! and very important in my music.
I need a random jump like the FX "SPFX 00C" that randomly jump to specific destinations that i have chosen in the pattern .
style 1 :
---------
the FX jump randomly according to the "row highlight amount"
If the "row highlight amount" is 4 random jump should go to step 1 or 5 or 9 or 13 or 17 and so on...( I'm talking in decimal here )
If the "row highlight amount" is 3 random jump should go to step 1 or 4 or 7 or 10 and so on
Style 2 :
---------
The FX is "jump to destination A" and i put a second FX that is "destination A" everywhere in the pattern where I want the jump could land. Of course you can have a "jump to destination B" and more.
Why all this ?
1/ because it's very musical. In a drum pattern you should jump from beat to beat or half bar or quarter bar etc...
2/ because it's a way to preserve the swing/groove if a swing have been set different from 6/6/6/6/6.
In the groove column if you set somthing like 5/7/5/7/5/7... if you jump really randomly you broke the swing it's not musical anymore and at the end the length of the pattern is changed, you lost the synchronisation with the other patterns.
My groove pattern is 7/5/6/7/5/6/7/5/6/7/5/6 and "row highlight amount" is 3 . If I put a random jump on step 3, I need to arrive on step 1 or 4 or 7 or 10.
Thank you for your patience and fantastic work.
